These cities still looks very great, I don't worry much about them.

This is blatantly untrue. I drive through Hollygrove every day, twice, and am the whitest person you know, it is perfectly safe and the black people in New Orleans are the least racist group you will ever run across. New Orleans is an integrated city - the whites and blacks don't live on opposite sides of the railroad tracks, we live side by side.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7a72a8eab8eaf833000010Mary Lou SmilesWed, 21 Sep 2011 19:26:32 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7a72a8eab8eaf833000010
Cape Coral with 400 miles of canals is anything but a miserable place to live!

Add a comment...People I've met in Cape Coral want nothing to do wyou as a person, only to take ur money, the white locals are the worst, they hate competition & believe they are better, good , honest data means all.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e79992d6bb3f79861000033American PsychoWed, 21 Sep 2011 03:58:37 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e79992d6bb3f79861000033

I just got a $829,99 iPad2 for only $103,37 and my mom got a $1499,99 HDTV for only $251,92, they are both coming with USPS tomorrow. I would be an idiot to ever pay full retail prices at places like Walmart or Bestbuy. I sold a 37" (HDTV) to my boss for $600 that I only paid $78,24 for. I use BidsOut. c Ómhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e78b519ecad047d02000005JoeTheManTue, 20 Sep 2011 11:45:29 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e78b519ecad047d02000005
I lived in Boise last year and really loved it - great biking, hiking, kayaking, hunting, etc. And found the people to be very laid back and friendly. But then, I had a good job, and I know not everyone does in that area.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e77d058eab8ea5f2000002dMazel Tov Mon, 19 Sep 2011 19:29:28 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e77d058eab8ea5f2000002d

Steve - you're in luck. Detroit is #12.
Most of the other places are there primarily becauase of the collapse in real-estate bubble prices,

I used to live in Detroit. If Detroit doesn't make the list with over 40,000 abandoned homes and with crime and unemployment out of sight, then the list can't be very accurate.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e738d436bb3f72262000033JMRFri, 16 Sep 2011 13:54:11 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e738d436bb3f72262000033

I live in Las Vegas and agree that it's one miserable place to live. Most people I know here would move away in a heartbeat if they could afford to. My once nice neighborhood is littered with foreclosures and abandoned homes. The LV strip is filled with half built hunks of steel for hotels that will never get finished. Our employment rate just hit 14.2% and increasing. Home prices continue to fall and almost everyone is underwater on their mortgages. Las Vegas definitely deserves the #1 spot.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e737fd2ecad04a575000008Daniel JacksonFri, 16 Sep 2011 12:56:50 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e737fd2ecad04a575000008
I live in Las Vegas, and this place is just filled with uneducated, trashy and clueless people. Many are here and are very prideful because they think Vegas is special just because people fly out here to ingest gallons of alcohol, get diseases from hookers, get assaulted on the Vegas strip, etc.
But this article is dead on. I've lived here a long time and I've lived in many other places. The city is great, but our people are the problem. We even elected a Mayor that was barely qualified to run a Burger King, so that shows the amount of education we have in this city.
I'm waiting it out and hoping Vegas returns to better times, but don't let the whiners fool you, we INDEED DESERVE to be #1 on this list, and once we are on enough lists (which should be any time now, right??) maybe people will start trying to fix what's wrong instead of whining and complaining every time people tell us we have a problem.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e73446f69bedd694d00002ddonnyboyFri, 16 Sep 2011 08:43:27 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e73446f69bedd694d00002d

The most miserable cities in American are the mega cities of NYC, SF, LA, Chicago, etc. I've lived in all of them and a few other smaller cities, some of which are on this list. Besides being dirty, and filled with hateful, selfish human beings who preach tolerance but don't live it, they are over-run with hipster losers, ghetto scum, illegal immigrants, and every other type of appalling people no decent person would want anything to do with. It's very telling when you realize that most people originally from these places before they became terribly unbearable don't live where they were born anymore and never would again. You are in denial if you think these places are nice.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e73274c69beddbf03000019txchick57(?)Fri, 16 Sep 2011 06:39:08 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e73274c69beddbf03000019

Do you like Huey Lewis and The News? I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e72aa4d6bb3f75456000002DIODE25Thu, 15 Sep 2011 21:45:49 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e72aa4d6bb3f75456000002

Almost every city was in either California or Florida. Orlando, home of Disney World, was even on the list. The economy is so good that people must have cut way back on expensive vacations.

@Paledude - all sounds awesome ! Just keep voting Dem. and Calif, will CONTINUE on it's trajectory to success. More oil in the ground than TX. huh ? guess that's right where the liberals and enviros want to keep it.
Calif. , where I've lived my entire life , is a failure. It highlights , on a daily basis , the FAILURE of a welfare state that has more people with their hand out - than people with jobs to pay for it. It is the land of the illegal allien , it is the land of the liberal , it is the land of the union and the environmentalists.
To try to defend the management of this state over the last fourty years is to lie to one's self.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e728938eab8eacb72000018RollerDThu, 15 Sep 2011 19:24:40 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e728938eab8eacb72000018

i don't know about this misery thing based just on real estate.
I am from Fresno County and Fresno is a bit miserable, well, because it is Fresno. On the other hand SF and Sacramento are pretty cool places, and so is Las Vegas. Only been to NO post Katrina and it was beautiful. Could be different now but I don't know that. Phoenix has desert fever and I never saw what people liked about it.
Riverside has a cool downtown and one of the world's great hotels, the Mission Inn. Have never been to Florida but I bet it is nice in the cooler months, but I don't like bugs.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e727e53ecad043f26000001Max LeygrumeThu, 15 Sep 2011 18:38:11 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e727e53ecad043f26000001

These are sad things, but really, a lot of this is predictable from sprawl. Everyone in America thinks they can move away from people, and when they get where they want to be, they meet nobody but other misanthropes
